Beach 'n scooters...

We took the day off.  Oh, there are things that need to be done with the boat, yet... but, we needed a "no work" day.  And what a day it has been - easily the nicest weather day since we've been back in Texas!

We took the scooters across the Causeway to see if there were any bikes left from the Beach 'n Biker Fest... not so much.  We rode up to the Convention Center, but the parking lot was pretty much full of cars.  There were some bikes riding up and down the main drag... and the highlight of what we saw was a group of Honda Ruckus chopped scooters... Ruckuses?  Ruckusi?  Four or five stretched and lowered Ruckus scooters, with WIDE rear tires.  Which brings up the question: wha??  I didn't get a photo, but here's a look snatched off the internet of what I'm talking about...

They seemed to be having fun, riding down the main drag of South Padre Island. 

We were having fun, too... a perfect day to be out enjoying the scoots.  We decided to stop for a few photo ops, with the Laguna Madre or Gulf of Mexico in the background...

And a nice lady coming off the beach got recruited into getting a photo of the two of us...

Of course, she and her friend said, "Those are SO cute!  That looks like a fun way to get around the island."

Yep.
